"Bag toss" lol

Satire site doesn't wanna say cornhole?

However, the governor will not be apologizing for calling it ‘bags’ instead of ‘cornhole.’”

Lol, fair. Didn't click through to read it.

I'm a gay northerner who moved to Georgia many years ago. When one of my co-workers said he was going to go play cornhole with his buddies, I asked if I could come too.

Needless to say, I was terribly disappointed.

Disappointed because lack of butt stuff, or because cornhole is a really boring game?

I'd believe either.

[–] Poot@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

Lol... Or both :)

It’s addressed in the article but the game has several regional names. Cornhole is one of them.

We all just called it "beanbag toss" when I was a kid, but now people from the area have switched to calling it cornhole.
